Transcriptome analysis reveals differentially expressed genes between human primary bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and human primary dermal fibroblasts.

ABSTRACT: Stromal cells have been widely used in biomedical research and disease modeling studies in vitro. The most commonly used types of stromal cells are mesenchymal stem cells and fibroblasts. Their cellular phenotypes and differentiation capabilities are quite similar and there are no specific distinction criteria. In order to identify transcriptomic differences between these 2 cell types, we performed next-generation RNA sequencing. Using the global gene expression profile and pathway analysis, we showed that human primary bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and human primary dermal fibroblasts have different molecular signatures. We also identified critical transcription factors that are differentially expressed between these cells. We then proposed that homeobox genes and some other sequence-specific transcription factors are not only responsible for transcriptional differences, but also discriminate bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and dermal fibroblasts at the transcriptional level.

Project description:BackgroundMesenchymal stem cells derived from human tissues have been widely used for tissue regeneration because of their strong self-renewal capacity and multi-potential properties. Autophagy plays a vital role in maintaining bone homeostasis. However, the mechanism underlying this role for autophagy in the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells remains to be elucidated.MethodsTwo microarray datasets were downloaded from the GEO database. Fourteen bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell samples comprising control and induction groups were selected to identify differentially expressed autophagy-related genes via multiple bioinformatics approaches, followed by functional analysis. Interactions among differentially expressed autophagy genes, miRNAs, and transcription factors were analyzed and visualized using Cytoscape software. The association between hub differentially expressed genes and autophagy was validated by qRT-PCR.ResultsTen autophagy-related genes (including VPS8, NDRG4, and CYBB) were identified as osteogenic hub genes. Correlation analysis revealed that CYBB was highly correlated with the sensitivity to multiple drugs, such as imexon, megestrol acetate, and isotretinoin. The regulatory network displayed a complex connection among miRNAs, transcription factors, and differentially expressed autophagy genes. Friends' analysis showed that NDRG4 was highly closely related to other hub genes (P < 0.05). Furthermore, NDRG4 expression was downregulated in the induction group (P < 0.01). NDRG4 was significantly correlated with infiltrating immune cells, including monocytes, eosinophils, type 17 T helper cells, neutrophils, activated CD8 T cells, and immature B cells. Levels of the 10 autophagy-related genes (including VPS8, NDRG4, and CYBB) were successfully validated based on in vitro experiments.ConclusionWe identified candidate molecules to further investigate their functions in osteogenesis, providing novel insights into the role of autophagy in mesenchymal stem cell differentiation.
